If your Victorian and love you local footy this is defiantly a great pick. Filmed in Torquay (Best known for its surf) but it has a great football ground. A story about how one action could rip apart friendships, a football club and a town. No doubt this movie isnt for everyone, but all local footy fans should check it out.

I am not going to enjoy panning this movie. I am an Aussie rules fanatic with deep family connections to the game and I follow North Melbourne passionately. I have always wanted great movies about Australian Football to showcase to the world. A movie about Tom Wills should really be on screen Australia's radar. Instead, we get a cheap looking, soap opera acted time waster with unrealistic depictions of the game. Australian Rules in 2002 also looked cheap and fake at times but that was made 11 years before with a far smaller budget. That movie also had good acting and an interesting, provocative story.

This movie's story isn't provocative or thought provoking, it's tasteless, nonsensical and exploitative. Why we feel the need to cheer on a bunch of creeps and losers who violate and humiliate an innocent girl, who gives the only stab at a good performance in the movie. Again, I wanted this to be great, with Sam Kekovich and Glenn Archer producing, and Mad Max Fury Road actors Angus Sampson and Josh Helman, likable blokes but who don't deliver here. Seriously watch The Club from 1980 or even Joffa's movie. Do not watch this dud.

I found Blinder really compelling. Complex, unpredictable, great settings and really managed to fit in a lot of the details of going to the local footy.

Torquay looks great in the movie and offers a fantastic variety of settings.

My best guess on the bad ratings would be that it is is hard to keep track of chronology, and the some of the story-line crosses taboos.

My favourite performance was Rose McIver as Sammy. Angus Sampson's Franky was also a highlight.

I'd definitely recommend it.
